Instruction:
MMEX download
Open .zip file
unzip
in the unzipped folder in the res directory create a shortcut (send to) on the desktop using the right mouse button.
Start MMEX (shortcut).
open the existing .....mmb database or create a new one

Thank you for this. I assumed the file I need is mmex.exe, which is in the bin directory. The res directory has the mmex.ico file. I created a shortcut to mmex.exe as you suggested and all works well. I am not sure why running mmex.exe directly from its location in the bin directory led to problems, but launching it from a shortcut (which targets the file in the bin directory) does not. Anyway, as I say, thank you for your help

I continue to have problems downloading new versions of MoneyMananger. I am running version 1.5.11-Beta 1 16 bit, which is the last version I have been able to download. With every new version since then, including 1.5.17 which came out today, I download, install and when I check, I look to have the new version. However, when I shut down and then restart MoneyManager, I am back to version 1.5.11. Can anyone tell me why I have this ongoing problem. My laptop runs Windows 11, 64 bit. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I download the portable version of the software, or otherwise. Thank you for your help

I would download Everything https://www.voidtools.com/ and look for mmex.exe and mmex.lnk.
Probably there are several versions of these files
Cleaning / deleting these directories / Files and reinstalling probably solves the problem.

Thank you for this. All seems to be ok now. I guess the moral of this is that, when I download a new version, I should remove the downloads of previous versions.

Having had problems gettingv1.3.5 to download some time ago, I am now having problems getting v1.6.3 to install. Every time I try, I get a message saying there is a problem with a specific file. Then another, then another ................. . In the end all I seem to be able to do is to cancel the install and then reinstall v1.6.1. I am trying to work with mmex 1.6.3-win64. This is the corresponding file to those used for installing earlier versions. Can anyone help?

It would be very helpful if you could tell us (screenshot) what the error messages are.
Have you deleted the old MMEX version ??.
Do you have administrator rights in Windows ??
what version of Windows are you using ??

1. Screenshot attached. This refers to a particular file but, if I press Ignore, the message comes back with another file name, then another and so on
2. The installation procedure seems to delete the previous version of MMEX
3. I do have administrator rights
4. I use Windows 10

I appreciate your help

such problems occur when the files to be replaced are opened (blocked) elsewhere.

Make sure that MMEX is finished.
download the version here: https://moneymanagerex.org/docs/downloads/latest/
click with the right mouse button on this .exe file
and run it with run as administrator
